Title: XE359, has anyone used these LEDs for the back lit reels?

Hi Guys,

A friend on pinside said he replaced the XE359 bulbs on his back lit reels with these...

Yes those work really well, I have replaced all of my reel lamps with these almost two years ago and have had no failures.
Nice and bright.

The number "XE359" refers to a gas filled 12 volt incandesent lamp.(they were OK for reels, but would melt buttons).
These T-10 LED units come in 1 or 3 chip design. You want a wide dispersion type lamp or you wind up with a "Hotspot".
Since it is a "Strobed Matrix" you might see some glow even when it's supposed to be off, thats normal....\
Polarity.....inside the lamp is a diode, you wont kill the lamp or blow the I/O card...it just won't light up.

I'm getting that hot spot on the coin legend decal.

Any recommendation on a LED to use in that spot that spreads the light better?

hi isn't the reel bulbs 14volts and the leds 12volts

They are all considered 12V. Cars are 12 volts but will charge between 13.5-13.7 so there are no issues using the LEDs.
